Venezuela Transnational Issues

Venezuela, a country rich in cultural heritage and natural resources, faces significant transnational challenges. As of 2024, the nation grapples with the displacement of 2,338 internally displaced persons and hosts 20,911 refugees, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Furthermore, Venezuela is identified as a major player in illicit drug production and transit, with a focus on becoming a major precursor-chemical producer by 2025. The country is also categorized under Tier 3 in the global fight against human trafficking, indicating a lack of substantial progress in meeting the minimum standards required for its eradication. These transnational issues underscore the complex socio-political landscape that Venezuela must navigate in the coming years.
